ANIMALS
Animals grow when they gain many proteines and vitamines. Animals grow by stretching their bones. Animal has a growing system that helps to grow.

LAYERS IN THE RAIN FOREST
Rain forest trees grow like animals and humans. But they grow differently, the rain forest trees grow in layers. The top of the trees are called Emergent trees and the Canopy, they are the trees that get more sun light. The Middle Layer and the
Forest Floor are the layers which get less sunlight. The forest floor can be quite dark.
